Please Don't Feed the Animals
For Wednesday's project, I choose to finish something else that's been hanging around for awhile....another item for my daughter. The weather is changing here (finally), and it's cool in the mornings and evenings and only in the 70s during the day. So it's time to put away the summer clothes. Since my daughter wears dresses or skirts 99% of the time, I usually try to make things for her that can be worn with long sleeve shirts and tights. This is one of my favorite patterns to make:
I couldn't get her to model it for me, so I just had to lay it out on the floor. It looks much cuter when it's actually on. This fabric is so adorable. It's a nice, soft corduroy with cute little forest animals on it. Perfect for my little animal lover!
The Gift(bag) That Keeps on Giving.....
Today's project was stolen from inspired by my friend Tracey. Tracey usually makes her gift bags. So I thought I'd follow her example this year and make my own too. They are reusable, but don't get torn and wrinkled like store bought gift bags....plus they are much cuter!
I just made simple, unlined drawstring bags. I made five today in a variety of sizes, mostly from fabrics I had laying around.
On two of them I used ribbon for the drawstring.
The drawstrings are long enough that you can tie them in a bow at the top.
For the others, I made a drawstring out of coordinating fabric. I think these will look great under the tree!
Well, that's the first four days done! Tune in tomorrow!!!

I love the little animals. They are super cute. And I really like the idea of making your own gift bags. Fun and reusable! You have some fun combinations of fabric and ribbons or contrasting fabric. Very cute!
